Okay ... I can start X in Cygwin by typing "startx" at the prompt. Then, I do the following:
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export DISPLAY
ssh -X -l my_login_name remote_machine_name
I can ssh in to the remote machine just fine. After I enter the password, I am greeted with the following message:
The machine I am ssh-ing into is a Solaris 5.8 box. I don't have too many ports open on the machine I am ssh-ing in from, though ... just 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 53, 80, 3389, 5500, 6667, and 7100. What am I doing wrong? What can I do to fix the error that I am getting so I can run X apps on the Win2K box I am using?

...and then the rest of the welcome message. When I enter the command "xterm &" in the ssh prompt, it prints the PID of xterm, but then gives me this message:Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
